PRESS QUOTES:

Press Quotes: “Coogan brings echoes of Tanita Tikaram and Tracy Chapman, and adds her own sultry tones to her songs. ‘Where I belong’ sees her voice taking on a sensual whispery tone that will appeal to your repeat button. ‘Black Eyes’ moves into a folk-rock territory, with that breathy voice again delivering tonnes of passion and sensuality. Coogan has a head start with her beguiling style and classy songs.”

-Jackie Hayden- Linda Coogan pick of the fortnight Hotpress magazine.

“Singers twice her age would be envious of the smouldering, very sexy voice that Linda possesses. If the right ears get to hear what she has to offer, then who knows what heights she could achieve. Do your ears and senses a favour, check out “Holding Back”

-Roddie Cleere- WLRfm

“Coogan is a fine wine that only gets better and better with age”

-Dave Conway -Triphazzard

“There is a smouldering intensity to Coogan’s writing, understated accompaniments, and oh, so smooth and sultry vocals that speaks of hard won wisdom, and prim passion contained in a pasteboard box. Holding Back is a thirteen-song exegesis of the vagaries of love, sung with a sad smile and an inexplicable optimism. Its on repeat at the moment!”

Mike Parker – Buddy Hollywood Singer songwriter of the month on www.buddyhollywood.com

“Not only can Linda Coogan play multiple instruments, as a qualified luthier she can also make them. Add to that her ability to sing and write songs and you have the ingredients for quite possibly the perfect musical package. This would be quite an achievement for most people in a life-time but when the person in question is still in their mid-twenties it is especially impressive. “
